Sorry for the lack of talking in the piece xD If you need help please ask <3 Really, this is more of a process piece than tutorial I guess.Related content

My apologies about the late response. It's been a while since I made this drawing, but one of the things I looked at was the way Naoko Takeuchi did her outfit. In the manga, her skirt looked less like a pleated skirt and more like a layered tutu so I looked at some references for that and tried to copy the way the curves worked.
Something like this may help out:

I mean, obviously not quite like that since it's not exactly right, but look at the way the ruffles are defined. It takes practice. I like to wear some ruffly skirts myself on a regular basis, so I've gotten a good feel on how they look.

No worries, thank you for replying. That is actually a good observation, I didn't notice that before. Pretty smart idea to look at tutu references thank you!

oh my the patience you must have xD expecially in drawing thw wand in the lineart !XD
But it totaslly worth it!! 
just a question: how did you do the white final glow around her? doing it around the lineart or did you merge the layers before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I went ctrl+A to select everything and then hid everything but the actual figure. Then went ctrl+shift+c which copies the current image. Like merging without actually merging. Then I pasted under the image. I locked transparency to make it white. I unlocked the layer and used gaussian blur. It sounds more complicated than it actually is

i see..
from what i'm looking at you normall shade with a lighter color(not as thick)
and for darker shading you use a darker color and a thick brush.
am i getting on the right track?
cause i just LOVE.
how you shade skin.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh to be more specific I usually use a larger brush for the first shading. This is a somewhat darker shade than the base colour and I use a low opacity brush so I can blend well. Then I use the pen tool to do really dark shades where it should be the darkest. It's basically a combination of soft and cell shading. Kinda strange but it works for me

Awww...I love your Sailor moon works!! They are so adorable!! n__n
It certainly must have took you a really long time to create/color her. I'm just looking at the shadows and tones and it seems like no detail has been overlooked. I really think the blue lineart is a pretty touch. It made her glow more. XD

Wow, how beautiful and colourful!~
I have one question, though. How did you do the bubbles? xD Anytime I try them, they look like flat circles that glow a little.^.^;
Anyway, thanks for posting it up!~

Haha I ummm... used a brush
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, it's a brush?
Aww, darnit! Brushes tend to be unhappy with my computer so I don't actually use them much.
Oh well, oh well.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, what's wrong with them? What program of photoshop are you running?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cs3. It's not the photoshop that's the problem, it's the computer. It's very... old.n_n;
It frequently closes down prematurely and can't have too much up at once. Big shapes, filters and paintbrushes clutter up Photoshop and often make it close, you know?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I see! That's so weird! If it's so old especially I'm surprised you can even run CS3 xD I'll try to create the bubbles myself, but off the top of my head I can think of a couple ways. Use the shape tool to create a circle and stroke it, then fill it in with some sort of gradient using like ummm a really light either white or blue? I'll try it sometime o.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is. It's not like it's against all brushes and shapes because I still have quite a few. Just certain ones. It's a weird computer for sure.
Well thank you!~
It doesn't matter too much, I was just curious. n_n

It's probably real easy and I'm stupid but how do you change the lineart colour?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh I have my lineart on its own layer always so all I got to do is lock transparency on that layer and paint over it with blue ^_^

Wow 
This is awsome!
Do you use a tablet at all for your work ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Coolio
Which one is it ?
If you don't mind me asking
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh it's actually really simple. I put my lineart on its own transparent layer so all I do is lock transparency and paint it over with blue ^_^
